Commentary left on /r/jailbreak by hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd reveals that the exploit currently “requires a 16K (A9(+)) device for now.” Unfortunately, that isn’t one of the devices Pwn20wnd has in his testing arsenal at the time of this writing; that said, it remains to be seen if Azad’s exploit will result in the very first public jailbreak for iOS 12. Some community members have already offered to donate to the hacker to hel facilitate progress on an iOS 12 jailbreak:

In any case, Apple is still signing both iOS 12.1.1 and 12.1.2 at the time of this writing, which means you can still downgrade via iTunes if you haven’t already. Don’t forget to check IPSW.me for the signing status of these firmware versions before proceeding with a downgrade and save your SHSH blobs. Those happily jailbroken on iOS 11 should stay where they are, and so too should those un-jailbroken on iOS 11.4-11.4.1 – especially now that tihmstar’s exploit is publicly available.

It’s virtually unheard of for so many exploits to be
released at one time, and for that reason, this is a day we will not soon
forget. On the other hand, the release of an exploit isn’t the only component
that goes into jailbreak tool development, so the community will need to
continue waiting to see if anything materializes from it all.
